Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

I was diagnosed w/ gastroparesis many years ago, but no real problem until I had fundoplication, which means wrapping the upper part of my stomach around my esophagus. (because I had a hiatal hernia and my stomach had wandered up into my chest, interfering w/ breathing.)
I cannot figure out how to eat that doesn't cause diarrhea. Or constipation. Mainly I need to avoid fiber. I guess. I may need to cancel out on the 3 day family reunion.

It’s interesting that you are now avoiding fiber. My current GI NP has me taking Benefiber in the AM and Miralax in the PM. Does this make sense to any one since I am dealing with chronic constipation?

@lindamks was you able to go to family reunion?
Tomorrow's GES test. I won't do the wrap my stomach around another organ- really?! I'm concerned their going to find (perhaps) some dead tissue from blockage, actually blockages. 3 pc.'s. w Diarrhea? Yes. I did not know this could happen. Dr didn't send me to hosp. in 2021/22. Diagnosed me w divertic. High Fiber diet. When it wasn't that. Should have been Low Fiber for this kid
